About me

Hi! I’m Andrei I. Cursaru, the Founder and CEO of Nexus Group AI (NGAI) based in Vienna, and I'm thrilled to be part of the Austrian GO SINGAPORE 2026 Delegation.

At NGAI, my team and I are building IRIS—an AI resilience engine designed to predict and stop threats to critical infrastructure before they escalate. Drawing on my past experience as a Security and Defense Attaché for organizations like NATO and the EU, I saw firsthand the blind spots in traditional risk management. To solve this, we designed IRIS to transform massive amounts of open-source data (OSINT) into clear, decision-ready intelligence. We help organizations seamlessly map threats across both physical and digital spaces while making sure they meet strict EU regulations like the CER and NIS2 Directives.

My mission is simple: I want to push the boundaries of technology to foster innovation, safeguard our essential services, and build a more secure, resilient world. Let's connect!
